Description
I really didn't think that Backy was returning this regular season but with Johnny on LTIR I guess it makes room but really intrigued to see what the lines will be. Everybody except the coaching staff seems to know Eller should get the boot but well see who does.

What would Eller cost out of curiosity?

I am actually one of the ones that doesn't want Eller to go, I think he is still very valuable to the team with his faceoff and penalty killing ability. I honestly would keep him just for that as I don't like the idea of Kuznetsov, Strome, or Backstrom becoming the #2 C on the PK...Also, without Eller I would literally only trust Dowd to win a defensive zone draw...

I guess Strome will be moved to the left wing and Mantha will be traded in order to keep Eller.

Wouldn't they just move Carlson to LTIR and keep them both? If he's out long term I see no reason for the Caps to deal either player when you can move Carlson to LTIR.

If Carlson is moved to LTIR and Backstrom and Wilson return to the lineup, Mantha should be traded for a right defence who can replace Carlson.

At that point, I'd rather keep Mantha and trade a 3rd/2nd for Gudas. IMO, Mantha's been screwed over much of the year by poor deployment and it seems to have really gotten to his head. He's still a fantastic winger and I'm sure we'll see him start to play a lot better when he gets a stable center assignment that isn't named Lars Eller and some pressure for him to score is alleviated with the return of Backstrom and Wilson. Whatever defenseman the Caps pick up, in all likelihood, won't have term past this year and needs to be someone that is cheap and able to play down in the lineup when Carlson eventually returns, so I'd rather not sacrifice Mantha for someone like that.

But do we have any cap space to get someone like Gudas when Backstrom and Wilson return despite moving Carlson to the LTIR?

If Carlson isn't moved to LTIR, no. In that situation, I think Washington gets under the cap by waiving Eller and one of NAK/Snively/Protas. If Carlson is moved to LTIR, then I believe (if I've done the math properly), Washington should have anywhere between 3-5 mil in cap, which should be enough to Gudas, or maybe a more expensive player like Severson or Dumba 50% retained. Currently Wilson is on regular IR, so Washington won't have to clear any space other than a lineup spot to get Wilson back.

Thank you for telling me a lot.
